huh?? my car is not built for turnsthe guys who do v8's and build to turn obviously use t56's....... and they own...
Again said MOST v8 swaped rx7's.... learn to read:icon_scratch:
so you are honestly going to say that a civic with whatever hp versus a swapped rx7 with an equal suspension setup is going to rape the 7 on a road coarse??? are you kidding??
No you missread what i said. i stated that most people that swap a v8 in a rx7. (cars that i have seen) do away with all that made the rx7 what it was. also show me a v8 swaped rx7 that is set up for road racing, it is far less common then a rx7 set up for drag. again i stated most. Zac have you ever been in a decently set up civic/crx? i doubt it.
with the swap all you are doing is gaining, and sacrificing nothing
and how is the v8 ruining the turning ability at all on it?? a ton of 7's with v8's keep a 50/50 distribution
Zac read things please.

you are a fucking retardYou are the idiot here gary. Your old grand national was super complicated, and made big power. who would have thought a huge v8 + huge turbo = power. :drunken_smilie:
I find it more interesting to make 500+hp on a 1.6L then 500+hp on a 5.0L.
but thats me.
Oh and gary have a decent comback next time other then a stupid insult, makes you look real inteligent.

yeah, because we all know that a 1.6l with 500 hp will have a grrrreat torque curve compared to a 500 hp 5.0

yeah thats what i was talking about torque curve's. you know a civic weight's like 2k lbs right?
oh they also rev to like 9500 rpm, but never mind that

yeah and your point? just because its a v8 doesnt mean it cant rev high, now im not saying that a street driven DD v8 is going to rev rev to 9500, but they dont need to.

again i said i prefer 4 cyl.
again a v8 with boost = easy power.

cool beans
you know, we can argue all day long about what platform is better and what platform can do this but cant do this, but at the end of the day, its what you want, not other people. i will agree that 4 bangers can be fast, and iv ridden in some pretty fast ones. but on the flip side, v8's and other larger engines are notorious for torque and power alike. you may like 4cyl, i may like 8cyl, but the fact is, its what we like.
and then there are the people who like cars to be origional, like when bubba said he likes 7's with the wankle in them compared to the 8cyl, or people like my grandpa, who has a few old fords, A's and T's, who would never ever ever put or let someone put a v8 in one.
but the bottom line is, its what people prefer.
again, sorry bryant for the thread jack, hope your "tuning experience" comes out good.

Prefrence is one thing but a true enthusiat has an interest in all realms related. You are being very closed minded and the adding the typical stereotype in which creates the tension bewteen the realms.
Grow up and get over it, a car is a car and power is power each and every which way you look @ it.

lol at matt, like im some v8 humping mullet head. ive had 2 v6 cars, 2 dsms, 2 mustangs, a gto, 2 T/As, the v8 GN, and im bringing home another 6 cyl import this month. Oh, and ive never said this out loud, but i had a civic at one time, thats right. it was a black EF hatch with a B16, perfect paint, a CF lip, full tint, on 17" rims and 2" drop, so get over your honda loving bullshit. No one really gives a shit about your opinion that a "fwd b16 will smoke a v8 rx7" cause guess what, most of them actually handle better than stock since a little tq gives it some weight transfer. they generally have higher exit speeds and will pull huge lengths on the straights. "OMG a civic is only 2k lbs!!" yeah and it has 150hp, zacs car is 2600lbs and has a solid 500hp, do the math and open your eyes to something other than your tunnel vision honda bullshit

LMAO at this thread and the direction it went.

this is the competition he runs against....
dry sump ls3, 2500lb race weight, 500rwhp......... and lets just say he is not in the back of the pack

I like it.

Now what can't you understand about that statment, i never mentioned every one ever made, i said most, as there just big huge engine in a striped rx7.
Yeah i said 500hp to 500hp um a civic with it's lighter weight doesn't need the torque of a v8. thats what i said. thats it.
Gary your seriously getting butt hurt because i like honda's . really dude you have used everyone of my posts out of context this whole time.
BTW, your avatar makes me laugh, how soon is "Coming Soon"? Its been what 3-4 years now will it be 4 more? is that soon or am i confused
i'm not the one with my car up for sale on ebay. Gary why can't you just argu your point without the insults? sense when is there a dead line on long term projects huh? i make sure to check in with you next time, i would hate to do it wrong....:icon_scratch:

matt, please show me any 500hp civc at all that will whoop this thing around a road courseWhat is it with people reading out of context today.....
i doubt a civic could hold it's own to a rx7 that is that built. i mean everyone knows rwd is better then fwd in the end for handling.
but there are times a civic will surprise alot of people. but like i said zac v8 rx7's that i have** SEEN** don't look like they would do well around a track.
here is a quick little civic and it is only on 8 psi and 260 hp.

granted FWD stuff does surprise people, me included............. i was just making a point thata v8 swap into an rx7 is far from pointless
and that a rwd platform does have more potential than a fwd one
